No, definitely not. It's not even something that falls under "common courtesy", like providing at least two weeks' notice. It usually won't even come up as a question unless you work in a competitive field and your employer is trying to figure out if you're jumping to a rival.
You definitely don't have to, but you might want to have a response prepared for if someone asks you directly. You could hedge with something like, "I'm excited to let everyone know, just as soon as all the paperwork is finalized. Thank you again for the opportunity to work here. I have learned so much. This is a great company and has been a wonderful experience." And then let them figure it out via LinkedIn.
No, I wouldn't. I agree with MainLineMommy to have a response prepared just in case you are asked, but I would redirect and not answer that question directly.
Agreed. You don't have to, but it's makes for some pretty awkward conversations during your transition? What's the bug deal? I think your only viable alternative to sounding "gamey" is to pretend you don't already have another offer - in which case, why would you be leaving? Essentially, you're drawing attention to the situation, making it into a bigger issue than if you were just upfront (but low key) about it.
I've seen some painful examples of why not too. One told our company them where she was going, and 30 minutes later after a call from the CEO to the CEO of the other company, and she had no job at her new job, or her current one.
Another had the HR dept call legal and serve him with a non-compete, and rather then fight about it the new company withdrew the offer-something they wouldnt have done if he was already hired and working.
Bottom line is.....it depends on your company, and the circumstances. 95% of the time its fine. Its that other 5% you need to be paranoid about.
When I resign do I have to say which new company I am going to? I would prefer not to, what can I do?
Yes. You also have to tell them your ending weight in kg or lb, and height, and what time you'll be setting off in the morning each day for your new position.
